National Football Conference · NFC South · 1 Super Bowl (2009)
The New Orleans Saints were founded in 1966 in New Orleans, Louisiana, where they play home games at Caesars Superdome. The franchise is owned by Gayle Benson, with Mickey Loomis serving as general manager and Kellen Moore as head coach. Brandon Staley coordinates the defense. The Saints captured their lone Super Bowl following a 13–3 campaign in 2009, and the team sustained playoff-caliber play for years afterward—going 13–3 in both 2018 and 2019, 12–4 in 2020, and reaching the postseason five times between 2009 and 2020. Recent seasons have been leaner: 9–8 in 2021, 7–10 in 2022, 9–8 in 2023, then 5–12 in 2024 and 6–11 in 2025. The 2026 roster features Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, Chase Young, and newly arrived quarterback options including Spencer Rattler, Tyler Shough, and Zach Wilson.
